Effects of Earthquake on Behavior Characteristics of Fault Gouge in Time-History Analysis of Slope

Figure 3

Seismic waveforms for the five earthquakes used in the time-history analysis. Time 0 corresponds to the first arrival. The PGA and degree of waveform fluctuations generally increased as the earthquake magnitude increased (see Table 3 for the details of each earthquake). (a) M5.8 earthquake. (b) M5.4 earthquake. (c) M5.1 earthquake. (d) M3.9 earthquake. (e) M3.0 earthquake.
